Grin & Bear It
TGIF! I’ve decided to make today a lazy day. It’s my birthday so I’m entitled, right? I’ve just been listening to my iPod in my new docking station, enjoying the music. It’s so nice to not have those little rubbery plugs in my ears. They make my ears kind of itch. Is that weird? (I think it is. lol)
Grin & Bear It
I used one of the latest Kim Hughes releases, Bear Hugs. (She’s just so darn talented.) The trees and bear were colored with Copics and the main panel is raised on pop dots. I
stamped and colored the bear a second time so I could pop up the more forward piece, then added a shiny nose and eye with a clear gelly roll pen. All stitching is faux.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
